It feels completely surreal to be sharing this news, but Becoming a Changemaker is NOW AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER!!
This book coming to life is the culmination of the dream I’ve had for over a decade.

Yoon Suk Yeol delivering a heartfelt rendition of American Pie is the wholesome moment we all need right now.
South Korean president Yoon Suk Yeol grabbed a mic and sang the Don Mclean classic “American Pie” to an astonished audience at the White House state dinner.
“I had no damn idea you could sing,” Biden told his counterpart. wapo.st/442KwRf

Coming back from a rejuvenating spring break can be tough, but I'm not letting the #MondayBlues dampen my spirit! Can't wait to dive into @AlexBudak's book "Becoming a #ChangeMaker" & to learn how to make a #positive #impact in my #community.
Such an honor to join (virtually) and play a small role in supporting lots of young changemakers. The world has never been more ready for you!
Thank you @AlexBudak for sharing your insights into ChangeMaker mindsets and attributes that will help us to create impact during our action planning day today @FISChangemakers!

So honored to see Becoming a Changemaker listed by @CNBC as one of the 5 best career books to read in 2023! Thank you @thewordsmithm for including Changemaker alongside some of my favorite books authors! cnbc.com/2023/03/04/5-of-the…
"Goodreads members called it an “excellent” guide for anyone who sees an opportunity for social or organizational change... calling out Budak’s practical tips for influencing change when you are not in a position of influence or authority as “especially helpful.”

Huge thanks to @richlyons for joining us as a guest speaker today in Becoming a Changemaker at @BerkeleyHaas!
Here are my top 3 takeaways from his talk:
2️⃣ LEADERS SET CULTURE - As a leader, it's your responsibility to set and define culture. You can do so in an inclusive way, of course, but as a leader your job isn't just fundraising, product, or operations. It's to set and lead culture.

3️⃣ STAND FOR SOMETHING - values like "excellence" are inoffensive, but are also so ubiquitous to be virtually meaningless. Be proud of being different and putting your values out into the world -- think of @BerkeleyHaas w/ Question the Status Quo & Confidence without Attitude.
